Emerald Kisses

February is my favorite month of the year. Not only because it's my birthday month, but because it's still winter and yet here in California it's warming up. I love that in February the morning might start with the pouring rain and minutes later the bright sun starts to shine. I also love Valentine's Day. Many feel it is a Halmark holiday, but I love taking a day to admire the one you love and remind them why they are so special. This Valentine's Day is extra special for my boyfriend and I because we found the most charming cottage to move into. We are already packing and it is fun and exciting for us.

For our dinner this Thursday I wanted to wear something feminine and romantic. This Elizabeth and James dress is perfect. I love the cut and the way it falls on your shoulders and the bell sleeves and the open back. it is understated sexy. I also am obsessed with my amethyst pendant made by Emily from Cupcakes and Cashmere. I am partial to anything amethyst since it is my birthstone. For this trial run I paired the look with nude heels. You almost can't go wrong with a good pair of neutral heels, but I may switch them out for my Sam Endelman Zoe boots when they arrive. I got them on sale thanks to a announcement from Chic Intuition.

hey taylor! love the new banner! and you gorgeous in emerald green, I love the sleeves and overall silhouette of that dress, definitely highlights your blonde hair and the amethyst pendant. congrats on your new cozy cottage, can't wait to see pics of it! and also congrats on getting a pair of the zoes, you're going to love them! they're so light and comfy :)

loving the whole look! everything is perfect..from the back of the dress, the necklace, bangles and the nude shoes...:D

ps. i complained once to my bf that valentine's is so over-rated..and he taught me its history...it's the feast of st. valentine..who amidst the chaos in the catholic church, conducted weddings..even in prison. :D so romantic....

This look is put together so well! The dress and shoes are perfect together. It looks like you were lucky enough to snag something from Cupcakes & Cashmere's Etsy, her store always empties really fast!

I love that Elizabeth and James dress. I just got their blue mini dress with the big puff sleeves on shopbop that I myself will be wearing on valentine's day! God I love them I just wish it was a weee bit cheaper haha.
